Kids say the darnedest
Shame that we won't get a face off but I'll take a fight over words any day.
This kind of thing SHOULD be contractually obligated though.

I don't understand how some think that Chavez Jr threw the fight. This is how he's always been, it would be surprising if he actually put up a valiant effort.

I'm not a big fan of Jrs so I don't recall many of his fights but his punch output seemed absurdly low last night.

As soon as I saw Chavez Jr walk into the ring wearing these trainers with the Nike Free sole, I knew it was a wrap.

You'd think he'd have done more running wearing those, instead of just standing still and getting whalloped on

Funny thing is, JR made the weight and was in great shape (for his standards). He just flat out couldn't handle the power or speed of Canelo. I was waiting for Canelo to pull the Mcgregor/Alvarez and just put his gloves behind his back and stand there smh.

Junior is so bad that if he sparred with his dad, Senior would outwork him.

For Jr that was his victory, save his paycheck and to hell with the fight. That 1 million per pound over was his only focus for this fight.

What happened during the Ward and Lampley interview yesterday?
Some have been pointing to that as the reason for Ward's no show. I only tuned in for the main event so I didn't get to see it.

I heard from one of the youtube boxing channels that that they were making a big deal out of Chavez Jr. reportedly sparring for 12 rounds for the FIRST time ever. Most boxers do 15 rounds in preparation for a fight.

Even if you look in this thread, the narrative has been the same on both sides for months. Even I'm sick of it
Let them just fight again already.
But that's just me as a fan. HBO should be absolutely furious and I'm surprised that isn't iron clad locked into the deal.
I've seen contracts where ******* tweets are required.
And MainEvents being tight about Kovalev breaking camp is exactly why I'm sure Andre gives zero damns about it all

Unless Ward had a legit emergency he should be reamed about this. Be a professional and do the things you are obligated to do. As much flack as Kovalev gets for being a ****, he showed up to this faceoff and broke camp for it.

Really he should lose money considering the fight is a PPV and promotion is of the essence.
Like I said, this should be contractually obligated. At which point he would be in breach right now.
